Search Engine request...

Is there any way you guys can prevent the search engine from looking in people's sigs? Otherwise, I get to see every post by every person who happens to have the part I'm trying to find info on (and lists it in the text of their sig).

Yeah, that's a good one...or at least, make it an option. Also...

It would be nice to search by date (being able to search on, after, before, between, etc...)

While we're asking...

It seems like the subject and/or name field is EXcluded from the search?

I often can remember that "JoeBlowsA4" posted something about "Blow Off Valves" but I seem unable to narrow the search using his userid.

Anyway to enable searching these fields or am I being stupid?

I mentioned this in the S4 forum, but we already do that

atleast for messages posted in the last few months. If you can edit it, it doesn't index the signature

The name isn't excluded from indexing and I think the subject isn't either

It won't be in the excerpt it displays, but it does index atleast the name. I'll have to check the subject as well

Hmmmm, I'll have to try to come up with some examples. Are NT threads excluded perhaps?

They should be included, but if I forgot the subject then they would be excluded

I haven't updated the database recently. That's why that doesn't show up
